Does anybody know where to buy replacement parts for bach artisan bones? Looking to get bell mounting hardware and tuning slide receiver to fit an O'malley bell to it.

Thanks!

Hi, the tuning slide receiver and ferrule are standard 42 parts. The parts not easily found are the main bell brace and back threaded braces. Those part nunbers are: 50614 and 50603.

Your bell will have to be soldered into the receiver ferrule with those braces in place and screwed into your valve section

I have a 9inch O Malley 42 flair on my main tenor, its great

Nice. I'm talking with a tech to look at doing a 42 and 45 bell from them.

Check out Instrument Innovations. I believe that their detachable brace post assembly is compatible with a Bach Artisan.

That would make sense if their axials are coming from them to also use the same threads

Olsen ones should be the same. My sections are compatible with Artisan, and also with the Olsen bits I have lying around

That said- I have an Artisan straight gooseneck that doesn't fit anything. Not other Artisans, not my Olsen bits. :idk:
